Cervical Cancer Screening
The current discussion centres on Bexley Council's efforts to improve cervical cancer screening rates in North Bexley.
Bexley Council is currently working to improve cervical cancer screening rates and raise awareness in North Bexley, as part of a wider initiative to address health inequalities. In March 2026, the North Bexley Local Care Network was allocated £177,153 for a two-year project to support these efforts, representing 33% of the total Health Inequalities Fund.
Key to this project is the recruitment of three new Community Health & Wellbeing Coaches, who will work proactively within deprived communities, including Slade Green. These coaches aim to build trust, encourage behaviour change, and help residents navigate health services, specifically focusing on improving cancer screening rates.
